Hell Down South

naturally, the UK’s toughest running challenge

Saturday 18th November 2017 – LONGMOOR CAMP, HAMPSHIRE

TOUGHER THAN TOUGH MUDDER

Longmoor Camp- home of the original HellRunner event. Much copied but never equalled. And now wilder and wetter, hillier and hellier than ever. A heady mixture of hills, water features and sand-sapping ascents… served ice-cold if you please.

It’s tougher than Tough Mudder and grimmer than the Grim. Oh yes. If running was an animal it would be a dog. Let’s just say HellRunner is part of the dog’s undercarriage. It really is that good!

2000 lost souls will face an epic endurance challenge of 10+ miles laced with theatre, music and pyromania. Naturally devilishly good fun.

VALHALLA

If taking on the full might of the devil’s wrath in HellRunner is a bit too far, a bit too mucky and a bit too much to consider, we’ve got the perfect solution. Valhalla. We’ll take you half way to hell (well, not really)

At approximately 6.66km in length you might think you’ve got the devil’s number. But we’ll still give you a little taste of Hell all right. Off road and off-piste you’ll go but not without the iconic experience and memorable finish to your journey offered up by the legendary Bog of Doom.

A rewarding experience in every way as you’ll be greeted at the finish line with a special Valhalla tee shirt and medal, along with our de- luxe goody bag, regarded by many as the best in the business. They say a little bit of what you fancy does you no harm. Hell, yes!

PARAS 10 AT HELLRUNNER

Based on The Parachute Regiment’s 10-miler selection / training protocols. the Paras 10 march is traditionally conducted over undulating terrain with each man ‘tabbing’ carrying a bergen weighing 35lbs plus water and a weapon. The march must be completed in 1 hour 50 minutes!

It is now very fitting that Longmoor Military Training Camp plays host to an even harder test — The Paras’ 10 at HellRunner! It will be the ultimate 10 Mile Endurance Race: entrants can tab (no weapon!) or run ‘clean fatigue’ in shorts and trainers.

Do you know that TAB stands for Tactical Advance to Battle.The origins are in airborne troops landing on a drop-zone which could be miles from the enemy or even behind enemy lines. Without support vehicles, Paras must carry all their equipment, rations and weapons. The tab is a fast march with weight which can be doubled to a run at intervals. Paras do NOT ‘yomp’.

The Paras 10 at HellRunner wave options are in addition to the main HellRunner event and we especially encourage participants to fund-raise for the Support Our Paras charity.

If you have your runner number with timing chip then you don’t need to register.
